Delta Air Lines Inc. will provide wireless Internet access throughout its entire domestic fleet, enabling travelers to work or surf at 33,000 feet.
The service, to be announced Tuesday, will be available on some planes as soon as next month, starting with Delta's MD-88 jets. By the end of the year, Delta will have 75 planes outfitted; by next summer its entire 330-plane domestic fleet will be online. While several airlines have been testing airborne wireless Internet connections, Delta is the first major carrier to commit to installing Wi-Fi on every airplane.

I MUST develop a Skype based Twitter service, so people can upload audio files about every minute of their life by just talking. It'll be like a voice recorder thats always on. I must develop and distribute to millions of people before Concorde69's next flight! :D

Could you imagine? A little bit of turbulence and 40 people going "I am in some turbulence now, but I hope to make through ok."

Now I can chat with my friends online! Much better than kicking the seat in front of me, running up and down the aisles, and trying to have a cigarette in the lavatories.
